If you watched the Super Bowl, you know that FOX News ran an ad for the Gutfeld! show, crowning Greg Gutfeld as the new king of late night TV.
It’s a pretty funny ad. If you somehow missed it, here it is:

FOX News has apparently been keeping a close eye on their ratings, and they know a winner when they see it. Gutfeld often beats the late night shows on network TV in ratings.
Some liberals in media are really unhappy about this development. They miss the good old days when people actually cared about the Daily Show, which Gutfeld is crushing in ratings:
🪅Congrats to the KING OF LATE NIGHT

Lizz Winstead, the co-creator of the Daily Show is extremely bitter about Greg’s popularity and the people who watch him.
She sounds like a crazy teenager lashing out when her world view is disturbed

From Mediaite:
Daily Show Co-Creator Blasts ‘S**ty F**king People’ Who Watch Gutfeld As Super Bowl Ad Declares Him ‘King of Late Night’
Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead doesn’t think Greg Gutfeld is the “new king of late night comedy” as an upcoming Super Bowl ad suggests, but instead crowned the Fox News host as the king of the “shitty fucking people” watching his show.
Gutfeld! has been a ratings winner for Fox News, the ratings often outpacing traditional late night shows from the likes of Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon.
She seems pleasant.
Cry more, Liz.
🚨🚨 Hey @lizzwinstead (Daily Show Creator)

Someone named Kat Abu, who works for Media Matters for America (of course), even made a pathetic little explainer video to educate people about why Gutfeld isn’t funny.
Fox News is airing a Super Bowl commercial for Greg Gutfeld’s cringey comedy show.
So I made a video explaining who he is, what you can expect, and why he’s definitely not *The King of Comedy*: pic.twitter.com/mALRxW05wf
